The Vox spokesperson in the Valencia City Council, Juanma Badenas, has made a surprising gesture: he has covered the accent of the name València with a Spanish flag in the press room until it was hidden. Before journalists, he has demanded that the mayor of Valencia, María José Català, already comply with what was approved by the council “and use the Spanish name of the city in official writings and communications.” “It can be applied now without the need to request reports from the AVL,” she said in a press conference along with the other three Vox councilors.
The PP and Vox agreed to change the tilde from open to closed on the number of Valencia, although it is awaiting the approval of the Generalitat following a report from the Academia Valenciana de la Llengua, AVL. But according to the Vox spokesperson, nothing prevents the City Council of Valencia from starting to use the number in Spanish. Because of them, he urged Català to change all the posters, headers and logos so that Valencia uses its name “in Spanish”.
